He talks as if there is this great big mystery on why the leading clubs of their respective countrys get stronger and stronger every year. There's no mystery.
And it's not some status quo that should just be accepted either.
These clubs are carried by a system that rewards the ritch and powerful clubs while punishing the middle tier to small clubs thereby creating a spiral that will shift money further and further away from, say, bavarias greatest competitors, and towards themselves.
Football being an industry, a highly corrupt one at that, money rules. With the right amount of money you can buy not only the best players (and trainers, co trainers, medical personnel etc.), but the best players off of your direct competitors. Throwing your financial weight around clubs that have nothing to put up against it. Bayern Munich for example, does this a lot. Worst thing is, they buy the best players in all of germany only to put them on the bench. There is no huge coincendence going on, it's tactics, plain and simple.
And it's bad for football. The leagues become dreadfully boring without healthy compitition, leading to viewership loss and lower ticket sales overall. The smaller clubs will feel this first, while the Superclubs will remain largely untouched for a while.
Instead of trying to correct the system, in order to allow for more mobility and easier permeability in the leagues, they are now trying to cement circumstances that would make them the sole beneficiary of viewing rights, ad money and ticket sales all over europe.
In short, this is a terrible, greedy, greedy idea. It does nothing for the sport as a whole and all to generate more money for them.
